* LoveAtFirstSight: [[spoiler:[[TheDragon Rikimaru]] for [[ActionGirl Ran]], who eventually became [[CoDragons Ranmaru]]]]. She was so pretty he couldn't bring himself to kill her, [[spoiler:which grabbed Gessho's attention and resulted in her being [[GenderBender turned into a man]]]]. Good work, lover-boy.

* TheVamp: Bima, one of the demons from the first half, who attempted to seduce both Shiranui and Kazuma. Made worse given that they're in their teens and [[{{Shotacon}} look younger]], while she was at least (physically) her twenties or thirties. It almost works too, at least until Shiranui's tattoos kick in.

Reason: Lolicon and shotacon have been disambiguated. Links with too little context are being removed - "paedo" is not always a trope, examples where the tropeworthiness is unclear are being removed. Also, please do not use "loli" as a synonym for little girl; see Lolicon And Shotacon as to why not

* BadassPreacher: Shiranui is a priest (or perhaps more accurately a [[MentorOccupationalHazard priest's apprentice]]). He's also about as BadAss as this [[CrapsackWorld setting]] allows any of its protagonists to be. Given [[BigBad Gessho's]] reaction to his [[ObiWanMoment ghost appearing]] during his interrogation of Shiranui, it's fair to estimate that his master was this as well.

* {{Gender Bender}}: ([[spoiler:Ranmaru]]). Hoo boy. Where to start. ([[spoiler:Ran]]) was woman, who hated her own gender. So, when she signed on with Gessho she had him change her into a man, ([[spoiler:Ranmaru]]). Sound simple enough? But wait: once a month he changes back into a woman for just one night. Did we mention that ([[spoiler:her partner Rikimaru has a crush on the aforementioned woman?]]) Yeah, it's complicated like that.

* {{Character Development}}: All of the main cast have had some, but Kazuma is the best example. When he first appears he's an alienated, antisocial freak, who {{hates being touched}} and maintains an aloof, superior attitude as a means of emotional self-defence. By the first volume of ''The Resurrection'', he's the leader of group, willingly holds Akira's hand to help her activate her spiritual powers, and has a vested interest in keeping both his friends and the Hikami Clan alive. He's also lost a lot of his {{angst}}, though none of the [[{{Badass}} attitude]].

-->''"Once there were two clans, the Hi and the Yu. Haku, the last king of the Yu was reborn 500 years ago. Princess Mio of Hikami, Kamui of Kai, Kidou of Adumi, Rai of Ryudou, Shiretsu of Kogami and someone from Kouragi tried to seal the spirit of King Haku. Many years later their souls inhabit six NEW bodies and together, they fight once again."''

* {{Wise Beyond Their Years}}: All of the main characters are in their early to mid teens but have grown up pretty fast. Justified by the war, and their status as the reincarnations of adult heroes.* {{Would Hurt a Child}}: Played very straight with Ranmaru and Rikimaru. If Lord Gessho wants you dead, they will kill you, no matter how old you are. Most of Kuroda's soldiers are similarly ruthless, with some taking great delight in killing those too young to fight back.
